8 Things EA's UFC 4 Must Do Better Than UFC 3

8. Build Upon The Striking, Don’t Remove

UFC 3’s stand up fighting system is the best any MMA-based game has seen to date. It truly prides skill, timing and statistics management over simple button mashing or cheap tactics.

The difference between winning and losing is on par with a real fight, and a wrongly timed sway or misguided take-down can spell an instant end to the chances of getting your hand raised.

There's no reason to drop anything so instead EA needs only build upon this with more moves to throw, martial arts to pick from and unique fighter stances to play around with.

There's a decent variety of kicks and jabs, but any person who practices the sport will tell you there's a whole lot more that can be packaged in.

With some new additions, players can cater their fighter's stand up even more to how they wish to approach a fight and also give them the opportunity to test their mettle against an even larger range of styles coming at them.
